LIBERATE and SPECTRE symbol lookup error

Hi all, 

I am running LIBERATE 19 on redhat 9. I tried to run the example, but the program seems to be stuck for a long time and killed automatically.

Killed

I have checked the sim.lis in the subprocess folder, and it shows 


Notice from spectre.
33 notices suppressed.
/eda/cadence/SPECTRE241/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/64bit/spectre: symbol lookup error: /eda/cadence/liberate19/lib/lnx86_64_2.6/libSki.so: undefined symbol: mtCa5n7kx1v11U7ho1xtCtC

Have anyone seen this error before? Thank you in advance.

    Why are you using such an old version of Liberate? Liberate 19.1 is not supported on RHEL9 (or RHEL8, even). I would suggest using Liberate 23.1 which is supported on RHEL9. Given that you're using a newer Spectre version, it seems odd to use such an old version.

    Additionally, with newer Liberate releases, the installation includes a recommended Spectre release. Users do not need to set up Spectre module/path to a different release, as it may cause problems.
